illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and
regulations. A spark arrester is available from Honda servicing dealers.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it functioning as
designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler
to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
